    4090 owners, how are you dealing with the power connector fiasco?

    So, I just bought a cheapo amazon cable that should come in today. Mine is not melting as far as I can tell, but I've kept things off for the most part to avoid any problems later. I just took my "good" cable out, pictures if you are interested i b b . co /album/mS0m0M (remove spaces above...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    Well, it was *suppose* to come Wednesday... but I picked it up from Best Buy as soon as I saw that email :eek:) -- I ran quake champions at 4k 200%, which is 16k resolution I believe, was about 60-80 fps, so maybe I'll just stick to 100% Had to pull one fan so it would fit, still running my...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    64-Core Threadripper and ultra-HEDT X599 Coming End of 2019

    I'm going to buy it, since it doesn't make sense to throw away the old CPU, I'll have to build another system with it I suppose. My biggest concern is DDR prices, but I suppose I can run both with my existing ram until they come back to reasonable levels 64 Cores! Think of what task manager...
